How do you not beat yourself up for making mistakes at work? Either due to my meds/mental health/chronic illnesses causing brain fog, or just because I don't even know, I have been making a lot of silly mistakes and of course worrying about them causes me to make more. How do you deal with that stress?

Also, I sweat a lot. I mean, A LOT. It's a combination of my medication, being heat sensitive in general, and genetics (my mom's the same way). I can't do anything about the medication issue either because I sooo am not going off my meds. The problem is that it's my hair, face, and neck that sweat a lot, to the point I drip sometimes. My coworkers point it out and it's so humiliating because I know it's super noticeable and it feels unprofessional when I'm working with people. I know you can't make me stop sweating, but do you have any ways to at least deal with it in the workplace?

Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
